Some changes to allow the current experimental branch to be used for a
hotfix release for win10 users.
The latest win10-update broke compatibility with SDL1.2 - and apparently
MS is not going to fix it. This hotfix allows win10 users to use our
experimental SDL2-based client.
It is quite incompatible with the 1.2.0.2 release - but it's good enough
to be played in pubs.
Coopedit will not work and quite a few custom maps won't work properly.
This is due to lots of changes in the map file format and does not mean,
that those custom maps can not be played in future game releases - they
just need to be reworked. See akimbo2 to check out the reworked maps, btw.
The old official maps and most conservative custom maps should be fine.
Due to some physics changes, players of the hotfix client will have some
advantages and some disadvantages compared to the regular clients, so DO
NOT USE THE HOTFIX CLIENT TO PLAY COMPETITIVELY.
By default, if an incompatible map is loaded in multiplayer, the client
will disconnect automatically. This can be disabled (disconnectonmaperror),
but will probably get you marked as cheater, because on incompatible maps,
model clipping may not work properly. Just stick to compatible maps...
If a keycode can not be found on the list from keymap.cfg a second search
is done for the scancode. This should be helpful to assign
layout-dependent keys with rare keycodes.
Also: use a hash table for the keys (instead of a list).
Add two new scan codes for dead keys on german layouts: LEFTOF1 and
LEFTOFDEL.
* use keyrepeat and textinput switch code from sauer (on windows, opening
a console with "t" also produced a "t" as text otherwise)
* screenw and screenh are now cubescript-variables that always reflect
the actual resolution of the screen or the window
DOCREF screenw screenh
* switch travis to trusty
* new parameter fullscreendesktop: uses desktop resolution for fullscreen
* "colorbits" removed, since it's no longer supported
* scr_w/scr_h no longer necessarily reflect the true display resolution
(with fullscreendesktop = 1 and fullscreen = 1, scr_w and scr_h are
ignored)
* desktopw and desktoph are now guaranteed to have nonzero values
* fallback to old mouse behaviour when SDL_SetRelativeMouseMode fails
* require a click into the window to grab the mouse
* scr_w/scr_h default to desktop resolution on first run
thx sauerbraten :)

also:
* -Y now sets the private key for the server
* -m without argument uses default masterserver URL
* servers run LAN-only by default (set ms URL and private key to
register with the master)
* use generic locale "POSIX"
pressing CTRL+F12 during spectating creates a clean screenshot and saves
it as map preview picture

Removed commands and variables:
chmenumdl (replaced by menumdl)
scorefont (replaced by "menufont score mono")
menuitemvar (better handled with fully dynamic menus)
Changed commands:
menufont menu font
Sets the font for a specific menu. If menu is "", the currently
initialised menu is used. Example: menufont score mono
menumdl menu mdl anim rotspeed scale
Assumes the function of the previous chmenumdl. If menu is "", the
currently initialised menu is used. Specifies, which model to render
and how. If only menu is specified, no model is rendered.

updateeditinfopanel is a cubescript hook to provide additional information
about the current edit situation, like, for example, the closest entity.
The returned text is rendered on the right side of the screen.
Default for updateeditinfopanel is explainclosestentity which provides
detailed info about the closest entity.
editinfopanelmillis <n>
update the edit info panel every n milliseconds
hideeditinfopanel 0|1
render (0) or hide (1) the edit info panel

Images are stored in packages/misc/igraph/*.png and loaded during game
start. Filenames consist of the image shorthand (mnemonic) and optional
frame times, separated by "_". Keep in mind, media file names may only
contain letters, digits and "_-.()".
All texts displayed in the game console are scanned for mnemonics prefixed
with ":". All found matches are replaced by the image.
The images are displayed as squares with width and height the same as the
regular font height. To create animations, put several square images side
by side into the file. For example, a 128x32 image is interpreted as four
frames. Frame duration is encoded in the filename, so, for example the file
"nop_1000_200_100.png" shows the first frame for 1000 milliseconds, the
second frame for 200 msec and the third (as the rest) for 100 msec.
Igraphs "1" to "9" are hardcoded and can be manually encoded in menu texts.
Use the new escape code "\i" plus the number of the image: "\i\1".."\i\9".
Other images can be used in menus as well, but the codes have to be fetched
by getigraph.
new commands:
updateigraphs
Checks for new files in packages/misc/igraph. Only necessary, if new
files are added during the game - for example, by mod package download.
getigraph <mnemonic>
Returns an encoded string to display an image outside the console, or
an empty string, if the mnemonic was not found.
new parameters:
igraphsize 80..300 (default 120)
scales the images (in percent)
igraphsizehardcoded 80..160 (default 106)
scales the hardcoded images "1".."9" (in percent)
igraphanimate 0..1 (default 1)
if 0, only the first frame of every image is displayed
igraphdefaultframetime 5..2000 (default 200)
used for images with multiple frames but no frame duration specified
in the filename
hideigraphs 0..1 (default 0)
if 1, no new images will be shown in the console

- collect most sound infos in one table and use it to generate the menus
- no more sound category checks with ranges
- now only PAINx and FOOTSTEP* sounds use hardcoded index numbers
enumsounds <list of categories>
Lists sound index numbers and short descriptions for all sounds of one
or more categories. The argument should contain one or more of PAIN,
OWNPAIN, WEAPON, PICKUP, MOVEMENT, BULLET, OTHER, VOICECOM, TEAM,
PUBLIC, FFA, FLAGONLY. All sounds with at least one of the flags will
be listed. Flag names prefixed with "!" will exclude all matching
sound from the list.
Example: /echo (enumsounds "VOICECOM !PUBLIC") will list all voicecom
sounds that are for teams only.

scriptcontext and isolatecontext now allow plain text mnemonics for
context level arguments (one of CORE, CFG, PROMPT, MAPCFG, MDLCFG)
also:

- some stuff renamed
- script errors now show context levels
- conc is no longer thread-safe (but slightly faster)

Restore the old persistidents system from AC 1.0, since it's working as
intended - if used properly.
As a reminder:
* aliases created by "const" and "tempalias" are never persistent
* aliases created or altered by "alias" or "=" become persistent, if
the persistidents flag is set during that operation
* persistidents if false during the execution of almost all config files
during game start - those files can create aliases with default values
which will not be persistent (until changed later while the flag is
set)
* before saved.cfg is executed, the flag is set and stays set all
throughout the game - which means, that all changes (from menus, for
example) will change the altered alias to "persistent"
* exceptions for map or model config files are unnecessary, since those
run restricted and can't create aliases anyway
* exceptions are necessary for "late run" config files like those in
config/opt/
The new command "persistidents" may be used to manually set or clear the
flag. It also returns the current state of the flag. If used in a config
file, the flag is restored to its original value when the file ends
execution.
In short: only late-run config files (meaning: run after saved.cfg was
restored) may need to manually set/reset the flag. Use const and tempalias
where appropriate and clear persistidents before creating an alias with a
not-to-save default value that may be changed and made persistent later.

- remove sensitivity training (should be rewritten in cubescript, if
actually required)

authkey manages a list of keys other than the game key (which is managed
by authsetup). For example, this can be server owner keys or clan boss
keys.
authkey clear
Empties the list and comments out all lines in config/authkeys.cfg.
authkey list
Lists all authkeys that are currently in memory.
authkey delete keyname
Deletes the key <keyname> from memory.
authkey new keyname
Generates a new key with the name <keyname>. If a key of that name
already exists, it is deleted. The key is added to the list in memory
and also written to the file config/authkeys.cfg.
authkey add keyname privkey
Adds a key with the name <keyname> to the list in memory. The privkey
is a 32-byte hexadecimal string, preferrably generated by authkey new.
The matching public key is generated automatically from the private key.
authkey selfcert keyname [comment]
Generates a self-signed certificate for the key <keyname>. Being able to
create such a cert is proof, that you own the private key of a certain
public key.
DOCREF authkey
authsetup contains all the funtionality needed to generate, load and save
private and public keys, and to lock and unlock the private key with a
password.
Private and public keys are used to authenticate the player to servers,
and are loaded from config/authprivate.cfg. Private keys can be stored
in an "encrypted with password" version - in which case the player has
to enter the password after game start. To prevent brute-force cracking
of the password, the key-derivation function uses a constant time to
encode (usually several seconds). Because of that, the decoding at game
start can be done in the background.
The private key is actually itself a public key generated from the
prepriv key. The prepriv key should be kept away from the computer, either
as hardcopy or on a thumbdrive. The prepriv key is not required to play
the game. It can be used to prove ownership of the private key, in case
the private key gets stolen. It can also be used to regenerate private
and public keys, in case they are lost. The prepriv key can also be
encrypted by its own password.
authsetup
checks private and public key and returns "1", if they match.
authsetup pre preprivhex [psalthex pwdcfg]
loads prepriv key into memory. optionally supports encrypted keys.
authsetup priv privhex [salthex pwdcfg]
loads private key into memory. optionally supports encrypted keys.
authsetup pub pubhex
loads public key into memory.
authsetup ppass preprivpass
decrypts prepriv key with password
authsetup pass privpass
decrypts private key with password
authsetup passd privpass [commandwhendone]
decrypts private key with password in background. optionally executes
cubescript command when done.
authsetup needpass
returns "1" if the private key needs decryption.
authsetup genpre [prelen]
generates new prepriv key.
authsetup genpriv
generates private key from prepriv key.
authsetup genpub
generates public key from private key.
authsetup newppass preprivpass [preprivfilename]
encrypts prepriv key with new password and saves the result to file.
The default filename is config/authpreprivate.cfg and an existing file
gets overwritten - but the former file content is kept and also written,
each line commented out.
authsetup newpass privpass [privatefilename]
encrypts private key with new password and saves the encrypted private
key and the public key to file. The default filename is
config/authprivate.cfg and an existing file gets overwritten - but the
former file content is kept and also written, each line commented out.
authsetup unarmed
sets private and public keys to a fixed value. For testing only.
Can be used to "log out".
authmemusage, authrounds, authmaxtime are only used, when new passwords are
created (authsetup new[p]pass). authmemusage is the number of megabytes
of RAM that are used for the password hash calculation. If authrounds
is zero (as is default), then the hash algorithm calculates as many
rounds as possible in the number of milliseconds specified in
authmaxtime. If authrounds is a positive number, then that is the number
of rounds to be done, regardless the required time. Note that, since the
password hash algorithm is not endianness-aware, it is not possible to
move an encrypted password to a machine with different endianness.
Moving between 32- and 64-bit machines should be no problem.
FIXME: the command is not blocked against use in multiplayer. It has to
be determined later, if this is a problem or feature. Especially
the background password calculation may be a problem.
DOCREF authsetup cryptodebug authmemusage authrounds authmaxtime
SHA512 was adapted from a few public domain sources and pseudocode from
wikipedia. The entropy collector gathers entropy from keyboard events and
mouse movement - and, just for fun, from screenshots.
The entropy pool is saved at program exit and reloaded at program start.
Entropy is used to re-seed the pseudorandom generator (not that it would
make a difference).
